妇女在劳动力市场上的工作量一直比男子少，工资也比男子低。虽然赋予妇女经济权力本身是一个重要目标，但妇女的经济活动也是持续经济增长的一个条件。关于国际贸易对劳动力市场影响的政治辩论通常根据工人的教育程度或技能来区分他们。性别是贸易自由化影响可能不同的另一个层面。在一个全球化的世界中，重要的是要了解贸易政策是否以及如何有助于加强劳动力市场结果中的性别趋同。
Women consistently work less in the labor market and earn lower wages than men. While economic empowerment of women is an important objective in itself, women’s economic activity also matters as a condition for sustained economic growth. The political debate on the labor market impacts of international trade typically differentiates workers by their educational attainment or skills. Gender is a further dimension in which the impacts of trade liberalization can differ. In a globalizing world it is important to understand whether and how trade policy can contribute toward enhancing gender convergence in labor market outcomes.
